I had the incredible opportunity to bring together some of the brightest minds in the creator economy for an evening of candid conversation about where this industry is headed. From ad tech innovations to creator authenticity, we covered the full spectrum of what it takes to turn creator content into scalable, revenue-generating partnerships. Conor McKenna from Luma and Zoe Soon from the IAB kicked things off with a macro view of the space, discussing how fragmented media is creating massive opportunities for technology to step in. We explored why brands are shifting budgets at unprecedented rates, with Unilever committing 50% of marketing spend to creator-related initiatives.The evening featured deep dives into brand integration strategies with Ali Parish from Blue Hour Studios and Jeremy Stewart from VuePlanner, followed by an eye-opening discussion with Arthur Leopolod from Agentio about how AI and automation are revolutionizing creator advertising. Perhaps most compelling was hearing directly from Sydney Jo, the creator behind the viral Group Chat series, and her manager Haley Friedman from Made By All about the reality of building a creator business. From navigating brand negotiations to maintaining creative authenticity, this conversation revealed both the opportunities and challenges facing the next generation of digital storytellers._______________________________________________Key Highlights

Most investors start with a single-family home or a duplex. Jonathan Mueller started with an eight-unit roadside motel he bought for $250K. In this episode, he breaks down how that unexpected detour became the first domino in a journey that led to a 23-unit motel, a 108-site RV park on 70 acres, and a totally different vision for his family's future. Jonathan opens up about overpaying for deals, moving his family across multiple states, living in an RV without running water, and going all-in on projects most people would be too afraid to touch. He shares how medium-term stays outperformed long-term rentals, why RV parks offer endless income streams, and how sweat equity, seller financing, and creative problem-solving helped him scale despite setbacks. This conversation is raw, honest, and packed with lessons most people only learn the hard way. If you've ever felt stuck at the starting line, scared to make the wrong move, or unsure if you're “ready,” Jonathan's story is proof that you do not need perfect conditions to build something big. You just need to start and let the journey evolve. Book your mentorship discovery call with Cory RESOURCES

If you've ever hit major milestones yet still felt trapped, anxious, or disconnected from your own life, this conversation will change the way you think about success and what it actually means to be free. We talk about the moment when achievement stops feeling like fulfillment, and why so many people find themselves “successful” on paper but exhausted in spirit. A lot of high performers believe the next level comes from working harder, grinding longer, or forcing their way forward. But what if the real breakthrough begins the moment you slow down? What if freedom, not hustle, is the real measure of success? In this episode, I sit down with business consultant and Winner's Circle host Jay Adewole to explore the mindset shift that took him from a $250K job to a year of making only $40K, and then to building a million-dollar business. Jay shares the story of leaving the safety of a high-paying role, hitting a wall, and the bold month-long pause that helped him rebuild his entire life and business from a new level of clarity. His transformation didn't start with another strategy. It started with stillness, honesty, and a decision to build a life where freedom leads the way. Together we explore: • Why “busyness” is the biggest obstacle to real success • How stepping back can grow your business faster than pushing forward • The difference between security and freedom • What happens when you stop surviving and start leading • Why redefining success can open doors you didn't know existed • How entrepreneurship becomes a path of self-liberation I also share how Jay's story mirrors my own path in MetaBusiness — where the real work begins the moment you release the pressure to “perform” success and finally choose to live it on your terms. Because when your purpose, energy, and leadership align, success becomes a reflection of your freedom instead of the price you pay for it. This conversation is for every woman and man who is ready to step out of the grind, reclaim their power, and build a life where freedom is the real flex.

Kate Assaraf tried every plastic-free shampoo bar on the market. They sat in her shower like, and I'm quoting here, "tombstones." Failed products. Dead ends. So she decided to make her own. Without Instagram ads. Without Amazon. Without any of the things you're supposed to need to build a business. Today on our program, we follow Kate's journey from beauty industry veteran to the woman who said no to everything, and built a million-dollar company anyway.In this episode, we explore how Kate sold 250,000 shampoo bars in 4 years while refusing Meta ads, Amazon listings, and influencer partnerships. When her contract manufacturer went under, she didn't find a new one—she built her own factory and hired the displaced workers. Now with 400+ retail partners and 7-figure revenue, Kate proves that sometimes the best growth strategy is saying no to growth hacks.GUEST BIOKate Assaraf is the founder of DIP Haircare, a plastic-free beauty brand that's redefined sustainable haircare without compromising performance. With 20 years in the beauty industry, Kate launched DIP from her kitchen table in October 2021 after discovering that existing eco-friendly alternatives failed to deliver. Her shampoo and conditioner bars compete directly with luxury salon brands while lasting up to a year. By refusing traditional DTC tactics and focusing on local retail partnerships, she's built a 7-figure business that champions American manufacturing and community-first commerce.SPONSORSSwym - Wishlists, Back in Stock alerts, & moregetswym.com/kurtCleverific - Smart order editing for Shopifycleverific.comZipify - Build high-converting sales funnelszipify.com/KURTLINKSDIP Haircare: https://dipalready.com/Find DIP in stores: https://dipalready.com/pages/stockistsKate on Instagram: @kateassarafWORK WITH KURTApply for Shopify Helpethercycle.com/applySee Our Resultsethercycle.com/workFree Newsletterkurtelster.comThe Unofficial Shopify Podcast is hosted by Kurt Elster and explores the stories behind successful Shopify stores.

Qualcom, a leading Irish provider of IT and cybersecurity services, has announced that it has invested €250,000 to support the continued expansion of its team and enhance facilities at its Dublin headquarters. Since the start of the year, the company has hired six support desk specialists - boosting the headcount within its support centre by 33% to 24 people. In turn, this equips Qualcom for future business growth. The increased capacity and capabilities within the support desk team will enable Qualcom to further expand its client base - particularly across managed and co-managed services. Furthermore, it will enable the company to better meet increasing customer demand for outsourced helpdesk services, driven by the growing need for highly-skilled technology talent to manage ever-increasing workloads. As well as bolstering the team, the investment also includes the rollout of cutting-edge technology platforms, new equipment, and a modernised office interior. This will help to improve efficiency and productivity within Qualcom's team, which consists of 76 cybersecurity and IT professionals across its locations in Dublin and Belfast.

This episode opens with a warning to younger investors who take TikTok advice over historical perspective, especially around claiming Social Security early. Don and Tom walk through the guaranteed 8%+inflation benefit increase from delaying, why “take it at 62 and invest it” collapses under market reality, and how fear is driving a surge in early claims. They pivot to Bitcoin's sharp drop and why crypto speculation is driven by greed, not protection, before teasing Don's upcoming crypto short story. Listener questions cover bad long-term-care/annuity hybrids, overcomplicated “bucket” strategies, responsible portfolio risk, and finally a breakdown of two expensive high-volatility mutual funds—both easily beaten by low-cost index alternatives. 0:04 Message to younger investors about lacking market perspective 1:19 Why TikTok advice on claiming Social Security early is flawed 2:17 The real 8%+inflation annual increase from delaying benefits 2:27 The “take it at 62 and invest it” myth 3:47 Tom recounts Paul Merriman calling his allocation aggressive 4:49 Rising panic-driven Social Security filings 5:21 Don's 69 vs. 70 claiming decision 6:11 Survivor benefit logic many forget 7:42 Imagining a sudden 30% crash—except it's Bitcoin 8:29 Bitcoin's drop from 124K to mid-80s, plus MicroStrategy leverage 9:58 Crypto culture, crypto research, and Don's upcoming story 10:58 Crypto as a greed play, not protection 12:37 Emotions sabotage investing; the plan removes them 13:51 Why risk needs to match the plan, not ego 15:24 Crypto story teaser + Short Storyverses email plug 16:31 Listener question: NY Life Asset Flex LTC pitch 17:49 Why hybrid LTC/annuity products are weak and commission-heavy 19:47 “Bucket” confusion and the need for purpose 21:30 Caller Eugene: $250K “play money” 23:43 Reality check: could you watch $250K drop to $125K? 24:06 Why timing dips doesn't work 25:20 Better uses for excess cash in your 70s 27:08 Tom: time for full planning review at age 77 28:38 Fund analysis: Morgan Stanley Growth A 29:25 Fund analysis: Invesco Equity & Income A 30:30 Why moving to low-cost Vanguard indexes is the logical move Learn more about your ad choices.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit stayorgo.substack.comIn today's episode, I sit down with “Olivia,” a woman I worked with one-on-one during the early days of her unraveling a 21-year marriage marked by deep narcissistic abuse. What unfolds in this conversation is one of the most raw, courageous, and unflinching portraits we've ever had on the podcast of what it means to wake up inside a marriage and realize: this isn't love. Not the kind that sees you. Not the kind that holds you.Together, we trace Olivia's journey from the exhaustion and confusion of her lowest point—when the gaslighting and emotional manipulation were so constant, she barely recognized herself anymore—to the firestorm of her divorce and, ultimately, to the quiet, grounded peace she's found on the other side.She shares what it cost her to stay: the subtle erasure of her identity, her joy, her voice. She shares the moment she realized she was no longer standing up for her kids. And perhaps most importantly, she shares how she clawed her way back—learning to borrow hope, hold boundaries, and honor the wild, beautiful pulse of her own truth.This episode is an offering for any woman who has doubted what she feels. For those who know something isn't right but can't yet name it. For those who are starting to see the cost of staying too long. If you've ever whispered to yourself, “I can't do this anymore,” let Olivia's story be a companion in the dark and a reminder: your freedom is real, and it is possible.Show Notes:Subscribe to Stay or Go on SubstackAwake - Jen HatmakerThe Let Them Theory - Mel RobbinsText 90MIN to 33777 to book a 90-Minute Session with me. ✨Text STAYORGOCOMMUNITY to 33777 to join the community. ⚡️Text EMAILME to 33777 for the free tarot guide using ChatGPT.

This week, Jason is joined by luxury real estate expert and Selling Sunset star, Mary Bonnet! As one of the faces of the Netflix show, she is a VP, a senior agent at the Oppenheim Group with over 15 years of real estate experience. Mary has built a powerful career at the intersection of television and personal branding. Beyond the stunning properties and glamorous show, Mary's story is about independence, strength, business growth, and credibility, how she used a massive global platform to amplify her professional brand, attract high-end clients, and expand her influence in an ultra competitive industry.  Mary breaks down her take on Season 9 and how editing shapes the reality viewers think they're seeing. She opens up about making it clear to production that she refused to be blindsided, and why being financially smart has been a priority throughout her career. Mary also shares the importance of presenting yourself well in the luxury real estate market, the real behind-the-scenes of what the job actually looks like, and the terrifying experience of being robbed during the wildfires—losing $250K in jewelry and only receiving $1,500 back. She dives into the migration out of LA and how that shift is reshaping her business, what she sold in her first year, her perspective on prenups, and how going into business with an ex impacted her credit. Mary reflects on what she'd do differently, how she defines luxury real estate, and the extensive due diligence required to verify buyer funds. Plus, she shares the story behind her biggest real estate deal, the first time she ever yelled at a client, and her best advice for buyers entering today's market. Mary reveals all this and so much more in another episode you can't afford to miss!

We sit down with Andrew Verbinnen, founder of HairDAO, who's revolutionizing how we approach hair loss research and treatment. After experiencing hair loss himself at nineteen, Andrew discovered that androgenetic alopecia - affecting 95% of hair loss cases - receives almost no funding because it's classified as cosmetic rather than a disease. By creating a patient-led biotech organization combining a thriving online community with an in-house high-throughput lab, HairDAO has driven research costs down from $250,000 per study to just $6,000 while accelerating results from two years to one month. Andrew shares how they've developed proprietary treatments available through their telehealth platform Anagen, built a unique human hair follicle organ culture model that's providing unprecedented data on fully intact human tissue, and created a token-based governance system where patients vote on which research to fund. We explore the blurring lines between pharmaceuticals and consumer products, the power of patient empowerment in driving innovation, and why Andrew believes the hair follicle data they're generating could unlock treatments for conditions far beyond hair loss.Grow Everything brings the bioeconomy to life.
